Permit Self-Certification

HB 2168 (building permits; self-certification process) provides that, "on receipt of any completed permit application, a municipality shall give the applicant the option of obtaining the issuance of the requested permit through a municipally directed permitting process or through self-certification." The bill proceeds to outline onerous standards for the establishment of the mandated self-certification program.

HB 2168 was scheduled for consideration by the House Committee on Government on Tuesday, January 24. The sponsor of the bill, Representative Jeff Dial, agreed to have the bill held for one week to permit the League to develop alternative language that would, at a minimum, provide for a limited self-certification pilot program. The League is presently working with Representative Dial and municipal stakeholders on the development of such an alternative.
